Hi,

I'm starting to work with ob-octave and found several problems:

The first, for which I have a fix (see patch below) is that octave's
output was passed on as a string instead of being interpreted as a table:

[diff removed]

Now this works:

8<------------------------------------------------------------
#+source: test_output
#+begin_src octave :results value vector
[[1 2 3];[4 5 6]]
#+end_src

#+results: test_output
| 1.00000000e+00 | 2.00000000e+00 | 3.00000000e+00 |
| 4.00000000e+00 | 5.00000000e+00 | 6.00000000e+00 |
8<------------------------------------------------------------

(before the patch you'd get a single table element with something like
"1 2 3\n 4 5 6\n" inside).

The second problem is that if I use octave table output as input to
another block, it gets interpreted as a string instead of a vector:

8<------------------------------------------------------------
#+results: test_output
| 1.25000000e+00 |

#+source: check_input
#+begin_src octave :var input=test_output() :results output
ischar( input )
size( input )
#+end_src

#+results: check_input
: input = 1.25000000e+00
: ans =  1
: ans =
:     1   14
8<------------------------------------------------------------

This has to do with the EXP notation. The 'e+00' suffix makes the
whole table into a string. The problem is with "%S" in the formatting
inside org-babel-octave-var-to-octave.

The following patch seems to fix it (and makes it possible to work with
complex numbers inside the tables)::

[diff removed]

A third problem is with org-babel-octave-var-to-octave.

For example:

: (org-babel-octave-var-to-octave '( ( 1 2 3 ) ( 4 5 6 ) ))
: ->  "[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]"

This is not a 2x3 matrix, but a 1x6 vector:

: octave-3.2.3:1> [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
: ans =
:    1   2   3   4   5   6

a semicolon ';' or '\n' is needed between rows instead of a comma.

To sum up:
   - 2 patches for prepare-session and importing the results back as
   org-tables (I don't know if these patches break anything).

   - 1 problem with matrix notation in org-babel-octave-var-to-octave.
   I'll try to provide a patch for this today.

	* ob-octave.el (org-babel-octave-evaluate-external-process):
	use `org-babel-octave-import-elisp-from-file' instead of
	`org-babel-eval-read-file'.
	(org-babel-octave-var-to-octave): separate matrix rows with
	';', and use '%s' as format specifier instead of '%S'
